Hackers
I see the Turkish Hacker has struck on www.hertford.net
Hope it is not too damaging.

Wareonline has been hacked as well. Wonder how many people be able to work out that they can still post to this forum?

Normal service has been resumed.
Yes dms001, everything's backed up.
I've also applied a security patch to the forum code to address a cross-site scripting vulnerability. No idea if this is what allowed the hacker in but no harm in plugging a hole.

I know that phpbb forums get hacked pretty easily, but I was not aware that snitz ones did. Forums will always be the most vulnerable bit of a website.
